You could just put your money into GIC's they only pay a small percent, like 2% or 3%, but it is better than risking your money in the market because there is always a chance to loose money. It also might depend on how much money you have and when you may need to use it. You should talk with an professional investment advisor .

invest in the stock market in good solid companies with a financial, advisor who can tell you how much risk you should take at your age will give you the best outcome in the long run with mutual funds. GIC;s and banks don't pay enough even though safe and put some into RIF's if they are a tax advantage, your financial planner will give you the best plan based on your income or tax breaks
